Newcastle United striker Adam Armstrong scored a brace for the England U18 side against the Netherlands last night, and further goals from Josh Sims and Demetri Mitchell gave England a convincing 4-1 win, after they had fallen behind to a Marlon Slabbekoorn goal after only 11 minutes..

England U18 team before kick-off – Adam’s second from right in front row England and the Netherlands met for the European U17 Championship in May, when England won in a penalty shoot-out.

The game was at the Leigh Sports Village Stadium, and 17 year-old Armstrong played for 66 minutes before being withdrawn.

Newcastle young goalkeeper Freddy Woodman was on the bench, and didn’t see any playing time in the game.

England began the game well and Armstrong almost scored after just eight minutes, but the lads went behind through the Slabbekoorn goal on 11 minutes.

England scored their first goal after 24 minutes when Sims played the ball to Armstrong, and the Newcastle lad hit the ball first time with his left foot into the back of the net from just inside the penalty area, for a great opportunist goal.

Sims then scored himself after 38 minutes to make it 2-1 to England and two minutes before the break Armstrong got the ball and beat a defender before firing the ball home – again with his left foot to make it 3-1 to England at the break.

Mitchell got England’s fourth goal after 51 minutes and Adam came close to getting his hat-trick twice before he was withdraw after 66 minutes.

It was an excellent 4-1 win by the England U18 side, with Adam Armstrong outstanding.

So Pardew reckons we’re on for Europe; he reckons he’s happy with his new look squad; he says he’s confident the new boys will get goals; he gets in Chucky but he doesn’t play him; he says we’re usually good defensively; he says we’re in the market for a new striker and CB; he says we need bodies out to get bodies in; he sells two popular players, one of whom he’s only recently bought and played out of position; he gets in no replacements; he knows we’ve shipped in loads of goals since xmas; he knows he’s only managed to get a handful of wins in 2014. Complacent. Mental. The bloke is deluded. I’m telling you now, he’s lost the plot. He’s another crackpot like Joe Kinnear. You’ll see. It will all come out.

but they’ve had tonnes of stories on us and fusk all ever came from them fortunately in some cases!

and belfast i knew you were that lazy so listed why we wouldn’t get them in that last post! so go on go go on go on go on go on and have another look and give me an answer based on wat ashley has done since he’s been here! i’m actually shaking my head here in disgust at you but there ain’t a smiley for it!!

Looks like Tubbs has doe a deal with Rangers to sponsor the name of the ground. Deal has been done but he has not triggered it yet. Also looks like he was to bail them out financially but the SFA blocked it. Very interesting – in two years they’ll be back in the top flight. Couple of years TV money from us, sell up and he’s clear finacially to do to Rangers what he did to us. Link:-http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/big-interview-keith-jackson-speaks-4161076

Pardew doesn’t like to bring through youth players. Armstrong will see minimal game time, if any during the remainder of Pardew’s tenure. Aarons and Dummet were only played because Pardew was forced into the situation. Contrary to what he has said before, he was not responsible for bringing Lallana through at Southampton.

I had long time patience on pardew after great 11/12 season.I thought something good to come up I thought he will became the one for us to take us forward.Now looks lost his enigma and magic if reports are to be believed and Mikey has no reason to keep him further.If he loses the next two games,I think it’s fair judgment to fire him. Chris Galtier, Rudi Garcia or Ralf Ragnick are my leading choices to succeed him though Rudi’s situation looks unlikely. But Galtier looks good mgr,he had wonderful 3 or 4 yrs with st Etienne.can build good team with unknown players.I think he is the one that produced Zuma,payet and Aubameyang. Perfect for long time stability of our club,like Wenger Ferguson.But hope we don’t lose the next two for the sake of nufc,infact none till November..

I hope we bring this lad through into the first team. If he’s not going to get a chance he should go out on loan for a year. We waste far to much young talent sitting on the bench or only playing reserve games.

They need to go out and get 1st team expirience if not with us someone else and preferably before he’s 25

Christopher Galtier also has excellent youth setup mgt and good relationship with boards.He lost big players in the last 3yrs but still managed to finish between 3rd and 7th in those 3yrs,without top player He likes to play fast,organized attacking football like wenger.He has good read of a game like Ferguson. He is serious in his job.He is courageous in his decision.He also likes convincing win of a game,industrious and good in man management. I like to have Jonas and obertan back in place of Goufran.He is responsible for our decline in attack in the 2nd HF of last season and the start of this season.He assist or created or scored nothing since January.I like to see him more of a center forward striker along side cisse.But he looks excellent in track back and defending, that’s why the manager wants to stick with him.But giving a chance for Jonas or obertan looks worthwhile IMO. overall we still have good squad with plenty options to choose from, let’s see what happens after international break, which is interesting to watch…

pardew would do well this season. we have a better squad unlike last season when we had too many unreliable players be it in form or fitness. I hope he offloads the likes of raylor and Jonas by January and give the likes of Aarons more playing time from the bench

I was just as upset when we unloaded Ginola (players’ player of the year the next year), then Bellers (‘marker’ for our subsequent downfall, salvaged Shearer, bad boy turned benefactor) and now HBA (our best player by a country mile).

What do you expect from our team under AP? Always (say 8 in 10) a tense, fractured, stuttering display, with few chances, a lone forward and terrible set plays, talented forwards becoming average defenders (e.g. Jonas, Goofy, HBA). As far as results go, win draw lose, win draw lose, at or around 40 points.

Dude, you’re fired. Thanks for the memories (of which, most credit goes to HBA, not you.)

Diggedydaws, Agreed. It’s just that I’m tired of the negative uncreative football. This is not NUFC. In fact, I guess it’s not all AP’s fault. But he must take the lion’s share of the blame just as he took the plaudits for the 5th place.

I wonder how many seconds puppet will give him now? 5? Maybe 8? Has he even made the first team bench this season anyone? I seem to recall he hasn’t but could be wrong! If he hasn’t but obertrons sat their then that’s a fcuking disgrace, it was bad enough benny didn’t make it

I tend to lean that way too mate. Plenty of opportunities to sack him before and he hasn’t. The only difference I can think of this time is the puppet got the players he wanted so is more culpable, add to that if we were in the bottom three and fatty’s investment was under threat then and only then do I think he’d fire him!

Look at all the disgraceful things he’s done to tarnish the club’s name, look at all the abysmal records he’s broken but is still here. It will take something of epic proportions in order to make fatty twitch and I believe that twitch would come if the above happened!

Off the thread but still relevant. Right Monsieur Gaultier, now you are fully aware, aren’t you, that at NUFC we are not aiming to win any cup competitions, we must not get into Europe and, of course, we must not get relegated. The fans would like a few more goals but I couldn’t pick up a decent goal scorer cheap enough in the recent window, so you’ll have to make do I’m afraid with what’s available. Oh and I’ve just sent out on loan our stand by CB – to keep the books straight you know. Now, will you take the job ?

Are you f@@king crazy Ashley (excuse my French)! Only a numbskull would take a job under these conditions. F@@k off back to England and don’t waste my time.

Would anyone take Kluivert? I posed this yesterday, but possibly a bit early doors for most. He has apparently applied for the managers job at Ross County so I’m sure he would come here.

Worked his way up through coaching and managing youth teams, spent 2 years working with LvG. Would play the game the way we like to see.

I know he isn’t universally popular in these parts thanks to a semi unsuccessful spell (13 goals in 37 games – I’d love someone at the club who could manage that now). Wouldn’t cost too much, would be happy working under financial constraints (evidenced by interest in Ross County). Thoughts?

Firebug, Have the SFA blocked him? I thought that there had been no decision, but there aren’t rules against it as there is no conflict. For UEFA he can only have 49% of the club if we were to meet in Europe.

Tuff, He bought the stadium naming rights a while back. Don’t think he has the stones to actually do anything yet, as the Glaswegians wouldn’t be as pleasant as we were about it!!

Yes according to an interview in the daily record he was blocked by the SFA, he has bought the naming rights to the stadium, and it will be called the “Sports Direct Arena” (sound familiar) but he has not yet chosen to implement this, he has owned the naming for two years now. But any further investment has been blocked by the SFA because of his ownership of Newcastle the SFA claim there is a conflict of interest,

health update

7th August, 2017

I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in February 2017 and started hormone treatment back on 6th March and chemotherapy infusions on 13th April.

I completed the chemotherapy treatments on July 27th and am currently recovering from the sometimes massive side effects of the chemo.

The next step is to have another cat scan in early October to gauge my current medical condition following chemotherapy.

At that time we will work out what comes next.

While there’s no cure for stage 4 cancer there are treatments to prolong life

I'll do my very best in the coming months to fight this with everything I have.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
